Movement/bhop game proof of concept. Air and ground strafing, teleporters, buttons and moving platforms. I used Godot Engine, func_godot, and Trenchbroom to make this very rough WIP. I haven't figured out surfing yet.

God I love checking boxes. I can’t believe we’re getting rid of the government, all those guys love checking boxes but now they’re being sent home and told they’re woke and gay fraudsters

In light of the news that Twitch is enforcing an insane video storage policy, it feels worthwhile to mention that YouTube streams under 12 hours are automatically saved to your channel

The American flag is a potent symbol and it is wise for protests against the Musk/Trump junta to adopt it.

Having myself a second soda and it's not even 5 o'clock. It's been a stressful Monday

I wonder sometimes how people today would have gone about politics 50-60 years ago if they were around then. Making progress meant trying to win over voters far more bigoted, sexist, etc than most Republicans are now. You can't treat getting people who voted for Trump as some extraordinary burden.

In four weeks the United States has pissed a head of state off in every continent of the planet. Number one at throwing tantrums baby. No one has ever done it like the Americans

New England has to contend with the Quebecois. they are so ab solutely fucked

when the Canadians invade, Windsor will blow through Detroit and Niagara Falls will steamroll Buffalo. Cleveland will have a few days at least before the mounties light the Cuyahoga on fire and bring us moral and total defeat

FDR understood the state should serve the collective good, but what we have now is a hostile, resentful plutocracy, and they’re crippling the gov to get a permanent serfdom It’s class war, but they’re doing everything they can to direct your hate at migrants so they can loot from us. It’s working.

From picking up roadkill all his life to being confirmed head of the Health and Human Services department. True American folklore unfolding before our very eyes

Speedrunning is very much ‘Death of the Artist.’ You’re not meant to play the game like that, but we do. Glitches are not cheating but a creative solution to the puzzle of optimisiation This has me wanting to meditate on other ways that speedrunning is deeply philosophical. Sisyphus would be a fan

If we’re going full oligarch, DOGE should gut the military. Pentagon has failed audits for years now, which is actual documented waste. Seems better than gutting essential social services that citizens need. Hold on, I’ve just been passed a note. Hm. At this rate, they will melt the poor for biofuel

Every human alive gets to see Elon dress like a 21st century eunuch, but even better is for the rest of time anyone that cracks open a textbook will see this LOSER absolutely NOT having that shit on

I have 35% more followers than I did yesterday. Hello 👋 If any of you like video games, especially speedruns, I ran GTA Vice City at a few events. People seem to find this run especially funny, and I am rather proud of it. Check it out if you’d like. Just thought I’d share. youtu.be/bO3hhp_EH5w

Seems bad that a tech company will hide these just because it’s politically vogue. I’ll poke around for an alternative that respects established norms and not the whims of supremacists; these big companies are volatile and we shouldn’t depend on them

Silicon Valley spent a lot of money on Super Bowl ads trying to impress me with a pair of glasses that can answer questions. Just fuck off. If I want for knowledge, I ask my friends or I research. Tech wants to rob of us meaningfully engaging with the world to buy their Mechanical Turk, get lost pal

I hear they're STILL issuing bans; that's very embarrassing. ESA has decided they're not the problem -- everyone else is. It's not a winning move. The Europe hub of (English-speaking) speedrunning will have to fall to someone else as ESA won't sustain themselves this way.

I don’t like to think critically or process information. I usually just reword my question until they nod and smile and say they’ll look into it. I walk away reflecting on how charismatic I am

Happy birthday to the realest, @pmctrilogy.bsky.social — I can’t believe you’re (REDACTED) years old now, that’s crazy lmao

Drake has $600K on Travis Kelce proposing to Taylor Swift during his MVP speech and he’s also dropping a 30 minute version of Marvin’s Room during the halftime show
